Now if one does sux, login, opera it does indeed open (however with a clean default setup, as one should expect).
As I see your package version is newer than mine from Sunday, I´ll install it and try again.
By the way opera next works just fine...but as all the history and prefs. are setup for the regular opera I need to get it functioning without scraping it all.
Thank you.

What exactly do I need to copy into my ~/.opera-next from the ~/.opera to get at least my e-mail working?
I assume that should be possible? I am wondering if something in the wigets, or extensions could be what causes the trouble. (adblock, ghostery, or translation tools)? If I copy the ~/.opera dir. to a non dot dir. then delete ~/.opera it will launch and create a plain jane default ~/.opera setup. But as I have no clue what causes the *** glibc detected *** /usr/lib/opera/opera: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000008605ec0 ***, I have no idea what NOT to copy into the new plain jane ~/.opera to get everything back.
Thank you.

From what I gather, munmap is where "free" ends up, so munmap_chunk is part of "free" . So it would be that you are trying to free something that isn't a valid pointer, or some other allocation overwrote the end of its memory and clobbered the next bit of memory that is the part that describes the memory you are trying to free.

I actually haven't a clue and don't use the app

Considering there are 4 results from doing a search, 3 from you and 1 from opera community, I just don't seem to see anyone else that has this problem.

That being said, I would start from scratch, clean profile and build (addons, etc) from their, that also would probably help for future upgrades.

You definitely have something wrong with your profile for it to be giving you this error and for me to not really see anyone else on the web having this problem.

NEVER MIND--I got it. I just did the old rename ~/.opera then apt-get remove opera , followed by apt-get install opera, updatedb, init 5 to bring up in my default X server, launch opera which starts an clean opera session and ~/.opera., while there download fresh versions of my previous extensions, close opera. Finally, mc to copy one dir. at a time from the backed up original ~/.opera. Re-launch, aside from needing to enter and save e-mail login pwd(s)...........all as before! YEA!

Piper,
Thank you. Indeed your suggested solution was the way out. I was able to spend some time discussing the error with some very long toothed programmer friends. Their explanation(s) and yours jibe.. So ..!
That opera community squawk was also me. I think I tracked it down finally to a youtube-flash-loader-converter-widget installer script referenced in 2 obscure ~/. files plus a .dat file.
Putting them back in brings back the failure and munmap chunk error.
